Apparently there is a 390Hz monitor. Its native 360Hz, factory overclocked to 390Hz.
Its called XV252QF (XV252Q Fbmiiprx), 24.5" IPS 1080p@390Hz, has blur reduction (VRB).

- FreeSync Premium (no variable overdrive)
- monitor can do 120-390Hz backlight strobing (VRB)
- NVIDIA gpus: FreeSync OFF/ON = overdrive OFF/Normal/Extreme
- AMD gpus: FreeSync ON = overdrive locked (to ~Normal), FreeSync OFF = overdrive OFF/Normal/Extreme
- VRB Normal/Extreme (pulse width) = overdrive OFF/Normal/Extreme

Exactly. I would love to see some detailed reviews on it. Nobody's interested because its expected to perform the same as 360Hz. Similar to 240 vs 280Hz situatuion.

But for people who are still on 240Hz or lower and not a 360Hz monitor ... it would seem this is the majority of people interested in it.

Scan out differences
390Hz - 2.56ms
360Hz - 2.78ms

A decrease scan-out time of .22ms with a 390Hz monitor

Hey guys,

I ordered this monitor a few days ago and will try it out soon. Any tests you guys want to see in particular?

Oh wow! Would you be able to do 390Hz vs 360Hz ufo test at best overdrive available? It would be a first one on the Internet. I believe this monitor also has motion blur reduction called VRB at probably 240Hz max. Some of those ufos would also be interesting to see. Hopefully you do the tests correctly :). And maybe some info on input lag.

Refresh rate ugprades need to be geometric to be reasonably easily noticed by humans -- aka 60 -> 120 -> 240 -> 480 -> 960

Possibly it won't be a noticeable difference. Basicaly only a 390/360 upgrade at best, but the GtG bottleneck will be a handicap factor on even that 390/360 improvement.

But I am interested in how the panel tuning differences of all the various different 360 Hz monitors compare -- that will be the bigger difference. Good tuning at 360 Hz will outweigh bad tuning at 390 Hz, but good tuning at 390 Hz may produce a larger margin versus bad tuning at 360 Hz.

Nontheless -- More Hz the merrier!
